palplot {paltran}R Documentation

plotting a simple plot for paleolimnology

Description

Before exporting the results of wa, wapls or mw functions to C2 or TILIA simple stratigraphic plots can bee done with palplot including several variables to cheque the results. For each variable the colour and the plot style can be chosen, error bars and trend lines can be added.

Usage

palplot(..., age = NA, error.plot = FALSE, error = 0, ptype = "b",
        error.ptype = "b", p.col = "black", 
        p.lty = 1, p.xlab = NULL, cex.main = 1,
        cex.axis = 1, dis = 0.15, p.main = NULL,
        y.lab = "sample", trend = 0, span = 0.1)

Arguments

... required: matrixes, vectors or data frames of species data and or reconstructed environmental parameters
age if available: a vector including the age of the samples
error.plot should error bars be included?
error vector or matrix included the error
ptype how should the variables be plotted? String or vector: "h" for bars, "p" for points, "l" for line, "b" for both line and points
error.ptype how should the errors be plotted? String or vector: "b" for error bars, "p" for shaded regions
p.col string or vector: colour of the plots
p.lty if "l" is chosen for p.type, the line type can be chosen. string or vector
p.xlab string or vector: labels of the x axis of each variable
cex.main numeric or vector: size of the main of the plots for each variable
cex.axis numeric or vector: size of x axis labels
dis distance between the single plots
p.main string or vector: main of the plots for each variable
y.lab string: label of the y axis
trend should a trend line be plotted? String or vector
span what span should be used for the trend lines
